Stabbing Rampage Kills 7 In Japan

Fox News reports:
A man who police said "was tired of life" drove into a crowd of pedestrians Sunday and then went on a stabbing rampage in Tokyo's top electronics and video game district, killing seven people and wounding 10, authorities said. The deadly lunchtime assault paralyzed the Akihabara neighborhood, which is wildly popular among the country's youth. The killings were the latest in a series of grisly knife attacks that have stoked fears of rising crime in Japan.

Knife attacks are apparently on the rise, and 7 were murdered by a rampaging lunatic with a knife. What came across my mind when I saw this story is how it would play out if it had taken place in the United States. When multiple people are killed in America by pyschopaths with guns (school shootings, for example) we hear immediate calls for gun control. I wonder, and perhaps you can answer this for me, if something like what happened in Japan happened here would anti-gun liberals advocate knife control as well? Just a thought.
